Journal of Roman Pottery Studies Volume 13

Mortarium studies have enormous value in addressing a variety of themes including source, chronology, function, distribution, and as an index to trade and Romanisation. This comprehensive volume, commissioned by English Heritage, provides an over-view of mortarium studies for England, Scotland and Wales. Presented in twelve regional chapters designated by modern county boundaries, each comprises a bibliography, synthesis and recommendations for future research. Imported mortaria are covered in a separate chapter. It will provide an important resource for those working on Roman pottery both in Britain and elsewhere.
